“T are two problems in painting” said American artist Frank Stella (b. 1936) when he was still a brash young man. “One is to fi nd out what painting is, and the other is to fi nd out how to make a painting” (1). Stella’s interest in the defi nition of painting may have refl ected late 19thearly 20th-century modernist concerns. More contemporary concerns focus primarily on how to make a painting...

We address the problem of texturing flat surfaces by spray-painting through 3D printed stencils. We propose a system that (1) decomposes an image into alpha-blended layers; (2) computes a stippling given a transparency channel; (3) generates a 3D printed stencil given a stippling and (4) simulates the effects of spray-painting through the stencil.

objectives: in present study, we studied the effect of teaching three painting methods (free method, subject selection method and complementary method) on creativity of children with learning disabilities. first, among all disabled students, who refer to bizhani center for learning disabilities in arak city, 60 subjects were randomly selected as statistical sample. thus, the 45 children, divide...

In this work, we examine how the advantages of a digital painting application can be supplemented by distributing its elements among several devices that participate in a device federation. The paint system we describe is a proof-of-concept for an architecture that facilitates the creation of a distributed interaction space. The architecture handles end-user device discovery, distribution of us...

It describes each component element of Chinese ink painting in detail. Firstly, this paper presents brush emulation based on physical calculation. The brush model comprises a spine skeleton wrapped up a smooth surface which can be deformed through constrained energy minimization. The model can bend the skeleton and change the shape of the tuft when there is a force applied on the brush. Then, i...

In the emerging inter-disciplinary field of art and image processing, algorithms have been developed to assist the analysis of art work. In most applications, especially brush stroke analysis, high resolution digital images of paintings are required to capture subtle patterns and details in the high frequency range of the spectrum. Algorithms have been developed to learn styles of painters from...

Lifetime from: 2000 Lifetime to: 2003 Short description: Stochastic paintbrush rendering is an algorithm to simulate the painting process to get a picture similar to a real painting. The image can be described by the parameters of the consecutive paintbrush strokes, resulting in a parameter-series. In this project, we will explore this stroke-representation of images for Content Based Image Ret...

Renaissance painting from the early 15th to the mid-16th centuries originated in the area of present-day Italy. Inspired by the works of ancient Greece and Rome, artists produced painting based on topographic observation and the idealistic body proportion. Most of the paintings depict the human figure in perfect shape.
